REAL ICE Skydiving photos from WW MASTERS 07

On the first night of the Worldwide MASTERs Conference in Phoenix, a couple of us from the Development Systems team set up a small photo booth. At the booth, guests could stick their heads in a flimsy piece of cardboard showing a skydiver holding a REAL ICE. Who would have thought that so many people would want to put their face on our REAL ICE firmware developer's body?!?

Human Brain Cloud shows how we think

Kyle Gabler, founder of the Experimental Gameplay Project and indie game studio 2D Boy, recently posted a few stats from his side project, Human Brain Cloud.

The answers players give are amassed into a huge network of connected blobs viewable from the website. Nearly 800,000 associations have been submitted so far, connecting over 100,000 unique words and phrases.
